I dont know what to doooooooooo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The story
Idk i need someone to talk me out of this shit and give me advicee helpp.
So im bi and ace (happy pride monthhhh). Ive known the bi part since i was 9 but i kept hiding it and supressing it untill last year. It honestly was HORRIBLE since i hated myself for being bi, and i felt like a freak and a creep who shouldent be in girls spaces. I felt that i was invading others privacy, i hur7 myself because of it a LOT. I also study in a skl that has a LOT of homophobic students, so it made me terrified. I was also so confused and scared an i had no one to talk to.
After some time i started to get better but then almost every person i told didnt belive me. MY BROTHER HAD A PANIC ATTACK WHEN I TOLD HIM. A lot of people told me i was wrong cuz i looked straight (idk i dont think so lol). It honestly slowed down the process sm.
I always thought my parents were chill about queer stuff but when i started involving myself (like watching queer shows) they didnt like it. And then my mom told me she was an ally but belived most lgbt people were faking for attention and because straight people are a minority now. She mentioned bi girls specifically at the time so i was devastated. OFC.
But after a while when i did come out to my mom was so sweet and i was SO INSANELY happy. I started tearing up and everything and i was so relived. And then after a while (like im not kidding like a week) i started questioning if i was asexual after my friends genuanly said they wanna do it and it dosent makethem feel gross and i started researching about it and I related to A LOT of the things.
I went back to like the self hate thing and hurt1ng myself and i was terrified cuz my mom thinks asexuality is just depression. I was like forcing myself to read p0rn and stuff untill i got a fever to try and fix it.
But now that im very comfterble w being bi and kinda with being ace out of nowhere actual homophobic people. Like my grandma who is an ally said labels were made to break up families and my aunt asked if i thought it was normal. My classmates are being MORE homophobic, so is my skl. When i tried to come out to my dad he said hes a mosquito thats atracted to walruses and he should be respected. He was only nice to me after my brother outded me as bi. But still he acts kinda off and said im pushing it into people faces when i was joking about a kpop idol being my wife. And my mom didnt actually belive me about being bi and she thinks im tryinf to fit in with my friends. And i told my brother im ace (the only person in my house who actually belives im bi and respects it) and he said i was going crazy. its not like im in danger or anything, and ik other people go through way more then i am rn, but still its kinda hitting me for the first time how people can be and im so scared. Idk ig before this homophobes were just this joke thing people talk about online but their not fr idk. and i dont have any adults to talk to. Im still learning about being bi and ace and i dont have an expirienced people in my life who understand it and stuff. Im honestly kinda scared idkk
Could any queer person give me advice pls? Im kinda going insane rn

Man, that's a rollercoaster of emotions you're dealing with. I get that you're scared and frustrated, like everything's too much to handle all at once; but hey, not everyone in your life gets it, and it's alright to feel overwhelmed. Your brother's freak-out is kinda wild, though...dude needs to chill. Maybe he just doesn't know what to do with new information or something (people can be clueless). 🤦♂️
Your mom being sweet about you coming out was awesome initially, but then doubting you later? That must have felt like a kick in the stomach. People saying stupid crap about "faking it for attention" or whatever are just ignorant. It's tough when family and friends aren't supportive because they gotta realize sexuality isn't just some flavor of the week trend. Ignore those fools who say labels break families!! they're clearly not seeing things as they really are. You're discovering yourself and that's a brave journey in itself despite all the noise around you. Hang in there!
LOL im hanging out w my brother rn. He had a panic attack cuz he was scared of me getting bullied and me km2. My mom just acted like she was ok she thinks im straight and just confused :( ty for answering tho
man, i'm sorry you're dealing with all this bs. navigating your identity when people keep throwing their own messed-up opinions at you is rough. and having family not entirely in your corner just adds to the stress... especially when they're tossing around outdated ideas or think "it's just a phase." 😒
just remember you're not alone in feeling like this. i know it's wild, but sometimes finding online communities can be super helpful 'cause there are folks out there who genuinely get it and won't judge. maybe try reaching out on platforms where you can talk to other bi and ace peeps? might help hearing stories from those who've been through similar stuff. take care of yourself!
Wow, that's a lot to process! But first off, happy pride month!!! 🎉 It's really brave of you to come out and start figuring all this stuff out about yourself. Dealing with people who don't get it or are downright homophobic can be super tough, especially when they’re close family. It’s sad your mom doesn’t fully support the ace part... Having someone believe in only parts of your identity is rough. You mentioned getting into queer shows: have you found any good ones that helped or resonated with you? Sometimes seeing yourself represented can feel like a lifesaver. Keep being you and reaching out for support; there's definitely others who've been through similar ups and downs!
I found heartstopers, thats the main one that helped but i still feel like shit about the ace part cuz idk any one thats ace. Ik theres tori but idk. happy pride month.
seeing the contradictions in your family's reactions must be really disheartening. it's like getting mixed signals from people who are supposed to support you unconditionally, which can be so confusing and frustrating. even though it feels like no one gets it right now, remember there’s a community out there that does understand and accept you completely. finding online spaces or local groups where you can talk to people who have been through similar experiences might help more than trying to force acceptance from those around you who aren't ready yet. everyone is on their own journey of understanding, but that doesn't mean you're any less valid.
It sounds like you're going through a real storm of emotions, and I can imagine how exhausting that must be. It totally sucks when the people you hope to rely on don't get it or come out with ridiculous comments. 😒 Trust me, their lack of understanding doesn't define who you are. I've seen friends face similar ignorance from family, and it's like speaking two different languages sometimes. One thing that helped them was finding online communities where they could talk to people who really get it, and maybe that's something you could try too. Remember, being yourself is not about fitting into anyone’s expectations but finding what makes you truly happy and comfortable.
gosh, the way some people twist things just to fit their narrative is mind-boggling; like your dad with that mosquito and walrus nonsense.
Gotta admit, that's a lot to handle and no wonder you're feeling like everything's spiraling. The whole "trying to fit in" comment from your mom is just 😤 like what the hell?? It's frustrating when people don't get that being bi or ace isn't some trend you're hopping on. I feel you on being the only one amongst family and friends who seems to get it... sometimes people are so blind.
Finding other queer folks online might be a lifesaver for ya. I had a similar experience with my fam not really getting it, but connecting with others who understood made all the difference. Keep holding onto those moments of clarity where you feel validated 'cause they’re gold in this chaotic mess... You're doing amazing learning about yourself!
sounds like you're dealing with a lot of mixed signals from people, especially those you thought were allies. it's messed up how folks can flip their stance when it becomes personal and not just hypothetical; dealing with family reactions is one thing, but then adding on school and society's general crap attitude? that's exhausting. consider finding online spaces or support groups where you can chat with others who get what you're going through. it's tough but remember, your identity isn't up for debate by anyone else... you've got this! 🏳️🌈
Man, it's tough when you're looking for support and just hitting walls everywhere. Sounds like your family's reactions are all over the place; it's like they're trying to fit you into a box they understand but keep missing the mark. That "mosquito attracted to walruses" thing from your dad is wild... Just makes it clear how clueless people can be about this stuff. I get that you're feeling alone in this and scared of facing homophobia in real life. Try connecting with online spaces where others get what you're going through, maybe even local LGBTQ+ groups if you can find any; talking to folks who've been there might be a sanity saver for ya. Keep searching for those vibes that affirm who you really are!
